Lyngby’s relegation from the Danish top flight doesn’t mean that Jonathan Amon went down with them.
Amon has signed for Vejle in a free transfer from Lyngby, the club announced Tuesday. The American winger signed a two-year contract with Vejle until July 2027, becoming the club’s sixth summer signing.
Amon, 26, scored four goals in 24 appearances for Lyngby last season. Overall, he made 52 appearances for the club, fighting through multiple injury spells in the process.
Prior to his move to Lyngby, Amon scored nine goals in 41 appearances for fellow Danish side Nordsjaelland. He also featured for Nordsjaelland’s reserve team, as well as the Under-19’s.
With the arrival of Jonathan Amon, we are adding some qualities and competencies to the team that fit well with the playing style and expression that we are working to introduce and develop,” Vejle sporting director Mikkel Hemmersam said. “Jonathan is a winger who has good relational skills and who is skilled at challenging the back space with and without the ball.
“He is dynamic in his playing style, is well-schooled from FC Nordsjælland, and he is a good counter-player, which will serve us well in matches where we are not dominant in possession of the ball, and where we need to be able to intervene via transitions when the opportunity arises. Also in that respect, Jonathan Amon is a good addition to the squad.”
A South Carolina native, Amon has earned two caps with the U.S. men’s national team.
Vejle finished one point clear of Lyngby to remain safe in the Superliga for the 2025-26 campaign.
